Sunday, round 3 racing at Eldora (09/21)

It rained all night, every time I woke up it was thundering and raining, not sure what to expect today.  It is not raining when we get up, this is good, but it is very windy and cold.  The track opens at 10 and hot laps start at 12.  We drive over to Bob Evans for breakfast then off to the races.  This time there was plenty of parking.  We get to our seats and then walk around for a little bit.  They have their t-shirts on sale so we get a few of them.  Then they announce that the B main is getting ready to start.  Again the clouds are moving in hopefully it won't rain again.


There are a lot of crashes in the B main, I have never seen so many flips and roll overs.  Some times 3 and 4 cars at a time.  Daytime racing is a whole different story.  The track is already slippery and black slick.  It is so dusty you can hardly see the cars go into turn one.





 Again it is announced the a storm cell is heading our way.  By this time we only have two races left and manage to get them in with no rain.  The Silver Crown sprints and quite a bit bigger than the normal non winged sprint.  I really enjoyed watching them race, they have bigger motors and you can feel their power as they speed by.  I also noticed that when the crash they don't flip, or so I thought we did see two of then do a easy roll.  A lot easier to watch than the hard flips and rolls of the smaller sprints.  As soon as the checked flag was thrown we were on our way.
It is now after 5 and we need to be ready to leave very early tomorrow morning.  We stop at Kroger's Grocery store for gas and dinner.  Once home we eat and get things ready.  Early to be early to rise.  But for me another sleepless night, just couldn't relax!!!!!  Still thinking about the races.  We need to be up by 5 am.  Oh well  I will manage.
